Anyone know about pivotal payments? Is it a scam?

Question

Hello, If you are interested in my 2003 Toyota Corolla S, it is in perfect condition, with no need for additional repairs, no scratches, dings, special marks whatsoever. It has 41,557 miles and the VIN # is : JTDBR32E732003883. It has a clear title ready to be signed and notarized on your name.

I have the pictures hosted on the net and you can see them at : http://s284.photobucket.com/albums/ll8/2003ToyotaS/. The car is located Silver Spring, MD.

The price is $2,931 including shipping costs anywhere in the continental US. There are no other costs regarding this transaction. I am selling the car because I am in the army, and my unit will be deployed to Afghanistan in July.

The transaction will be closed only through a 3rd party and this way we will both be protected. My time is limited due to my job in the army so I decided to use a service from Pivotal Payments. To begin the transaction I'll need your full name and shipping address, etc.

Answer 1

OMG! I received the IDENTICAL response from a "Mark Paulson" when I inquired about the craigslist ad for this 2003 Corolla yesterday as well.  I have since checked back on Craigslist and the ad is no longer posted. I have the feeling it's a scam.....and as everyone says, too good to be true.

Answer 2

Yes, I am interested in your 2003 Toyota Corolla S. Could you send me more information?

Thanks,

Ruohan

IT'S A SCAM!  i'm going through the exact same thing - found a 2003 camry on craigslist for only $3,000.. at first i was like, "it looks too good to be true but then again you never know. the economy is effed up and people need money." so to make a long story short, i googled pivotal payments and stumbled upon this - http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;...

i don't know who the h**l that person thinks he is but i'm going to be the first to take legal actions against him. he needs to stop scamming people and get a real job.
